"I have seen great jazz musicians die obscure and drinking themselves to death and not really being able to get any work and working in small, funky jazz clubs."
Death
"Jazz has an audience all around the globe and has had for many decades, I think speaking of the United States, let's say that what we need is more of an official recognition."
Jazz
"I miss playing with Miles. I did play with him a little while before he left the planet, but even at that time I longed to maybe do some things together."
Time
"I don't want to appear hostile, like I'm hostile to L.A. or that I feel that the people don't appreciate jazz. I don't think it's that. I think it's something more. It's something a little bit more complicated than that."
People
"I've played with all of the heavyweights in the modern jazz, progressive jazz movement. I've been fortunate enough to play with them, a who's who. All of those guys, I've been fortunate enough to have performed with."
Jazz
"There have been many great musicians that, Clifford Brown is one great example, I mean he died very early, 25."
Example
"What I can say is that for may years jazz musicians had to go to Europe, for instance, to be respected and to be sort of treated not in a discriminatory way. I don't think there is anything controversial about me saying that. This is just a fact."
Europe
"I think the problem starts with the general appreciation of the music in the larger society."
Music
"I am a person who thinks about the music first in trying to achieve something musically valid."
Music
"I guess fortunate that I'm still around and I emphasize I guess because you never can tell what musicians would be playing had they been around as long as I have."
